Chinese Medicine: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Consummation

The young man was stunned by Li Xu’s words.

’What does he mean, great joy and great sorrow?’

’What does he mean, from hell to heaven?’

For the past two days, ever since the CT scan suggesting lung cancer had come out, the mental pressure had been immense—so immense it felt like he was suffocating.

He had thought about a lot of things.

He had thought about death, about his grandfather, and most of all, about Lili.

He was so afraid of dying.

He was afraid that if he died, there would be no one to take care of that silly girl.

’That silly girl... why is she so wonderfully, hopelessly silly?’

To sign the papers for him, to make their relationship official, she had known he might have a terminal illness. She had known it was like jumping into a pit of fire, but she did it anyway, without a second thought, pulling him along to get their marriage certificate...

He truly felt like a sinner, a burden.

Whenever he thought about all this, the young man’s heart grew so heavy he could barely breathe.

But now...

When Li Xu suddenly told him it was curable, that he could live, that he could spend the rest of his life with Lili...

The young man suddenly burst into tears.

With no warning, tears streamed down his face like a flood from a broken dam.

His eyes reddened and his nose stung. He looked at Li Xu, overcome with emotion, and asked incoherently, "Doctor... are... are you joking with me?"

"Can I really... really be like a normal person?"

"I’m not going to die?"

"I can still be with Lili... Is that true?"

As he spoke, his tears flowed uncontrollably, running down his cheeks and dripping onto the floor.

It was the joy of a new lease on life, and gratitude for this twist of fate.

Li Xu smiled and nodded, his tone firm. "Of course. I’m a doctor. I don’t joke about things like this."

"Your life is still in your hands."

"Schedule the surgery as soon as you can. Once it’s completely removed, we’ll supplement it with some Chinese medicine to regulate your system, and you’ll be fine."

"The reason I asked you to stay behind was because I wanted to tell you..."

Li Xu looked at the man crying like a child and said earnestly, "Cherish your wife. A girl like her is more precious than anything, more worthy than anything."

"With a wife like that supporting you, what kind of illness can’t you overcome?"

"What I’m trying to say is that psychological factors are very important in fighting cancer. You need to conquer your fear of the disease. Don’t let yourself be defeated by your own fear."

"Cancer is terrifying, but... many patients aren’t killed by the disease itself. They’re scared to death by the diagnosis."

"Your condition isn’t severe. Schedule the surgery as soon as you can. I’ll also prescribe some restorative Chinese medicine to strengthen your constitution. It’s not a big problem."

Zhang Yuanzhi wiped away his tears and bowed deeply to Li Xu, his voice choked with emotion. "Thank you, thank you so much, Dr. Li. You saved my life, and you saved my family."

"Alright, go get your wife. She must be going crazy with worry out there."

Meanwhile, the girl outside had long since grown impatient, pacing back and forth anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.

The moment she heard the door open, she rushed inside.

Seeing Zhang Yuanzhi’s tear-streaked face, her heart sank. She instantly broke down, sobbing.

"Why are you crying? Is it... Is the news bad?"

"I already told you, I’ll be with you! No matter how hard it gets, I’ll be with you!"

"Zhang Yuanzhi, you listen to me! Don’t be afraid."

"What’s there to be afraid of? If the sky falls, I’ll be here to hold it up for you."

"I’ll have a son for you, and we’ll be with you. Even if you... go, I won’t remarry. I’ll stay faithful to your memory..."

"Why are you crying? Say something!"

"Please stop crying, okay? I’m begging you, what happened? Don’t scare me like this!"

The girl’s voice was a mix of crying and shouting, a heart-wrenching sound that would move anyone who heard it.

Zhang Yuanzhi looked at the girl before him, this girl who was willing to take on the whole world for his sake. He couldn’t hold back any longer and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Lili..."

"The doctor said... there’s still hope for me. It’s stage 0 carcinoma in situ. With early surgery... my life expectancy won’t be affected."

"I’m not going to die."

"I’m not going to die! I can stay with you!"

"I’m going to stay with you, treat you well for the rest of our lives, cook for you for the rest of our lives, wash your feet for the rest of our lives..."

"Trust me... In this life, I will never let you down..."

The young man cupped the girl’s tear-stained face, their eyes meeting.

Both pairs of eyes were filled with tears, but within those tears, a light unlike any they had ever seen before shimmered.

It was hope, it was love, it was the joy of being reborn.

Li Xu watched this scene quietly, a gentle smile gracing his lips.

’Perhaps... this is the most perfect ending possible,’ he thought.

As long as there is love, there can be miracles in life.

A day passed quickly.

The next day, Li Xu didn’t go to the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, nor did he open his clinic.

Accompanied by Song Sisi and with Lin Xiaoyu in tow, he went to the new "Lixin Cloudtop" development in Feng City.

It was one of the most high-end residential communities in Feng City, nestled by a mountain and near the water, with a serene environment.

The sales office was bustling with people and full of energy.

"Wow, this area is so nice," Lin Xiaoyu exclaimed as soon as she got out of the car. "The landscaping is amazing. It’s like a park."

Song Sisi also clung to Li Xu’s arm, looking around with a yearning expression in her eyes.

A saleswoman greeted them warmly and led them to see the architectural model and the show home.

"Sir, Ma’am, our main offerings here are grande flats and stacked villas. Judging by your distinguished air, our premium ’king’ unit would be a perfect fit for you."

The saleswoman pointed to the centermost building on the model. "This is a 280-square-meter grande flat. It has five bedrooms, two living rooms, north-south cross-ventilation, and a view of the nearby wetland park. Plus, we have a promotion right now: it comes with premium interior finishing and two parking spaces."

Song Sisi was tempted, but when she heard the total price, she hesitated and tugged on Li Xu’s sleeve. "This is too expensive, isn’t it? Should we look at something smaller?"

Although Li Xu wasn’t short on money, Song Sisi still wanted to be frugal.

Li Xu patted her hand and said to the saleswoman with a smile, "Please show us the model apartment. As long as the place is good, the price isn’t an issue."

Hearing this, the saleswoman’s eyes lit up, and her attitude became even more attentive.

The group arrived at the show home.

A spacious living room, enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, a luxurious design style, and a large, open-plan kitchen...

Song Sisi stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside, an unconcealed look of adoration in her eyes.

"What do you think? Do you like it?"

Li Xu walked up behind her and asked softly.

"I like it, but..."

Song Sisi said in a low voice, "It’s just so big. Won’t it feel a bit empty with just the two of us?"

"How could it be empty?" Li Xu leaned in close to her ear and said with a mischievous grin, "When we have two kids, plus a nanny, five bedrooms might not even be enough."

Song Sisi’s face instantly turned red. She gave him a light tap. "Who wants to have kids with you... Dream on."

Though that’s what she said, the sweetness she felt in her heart was impossible to hide.

Watching the two of them being so lovey-dovey, Lin Xiaoyu pouted with mock jealousy. "Hey, hey, watch it! You’ve got a single person here. Can’t you show a little compassion for us poor animals?"

"Haha."

Li Xu burst out laughing.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was Ding Kaifang.
